Polo

The 1970 D. Gottlieb & Company pinball machine 'Polo' is an electro-mechanical (EM) four-player game with a polo sports theme, designed by Ed Krynski with artwork by Art Stenholm. It was produced in a confirmed run of 1,140 units.

Polo features two flippers, three pop bumpers, and two slingshots. Players can also target seven standup targets, one vari-target, and shoot for the kick-out hole, with a free ball return lane adding an extra layer of complexity to gameplay. A 2-player version of this game was released as Gottlieb's 1970 'Mini Cycle', and the same playfield layout was reused for Gottlieb's 1972 export title 'Space Orbit'.

The 'Polo' machine stands out for its artwork depicting polo players in action. While details about the game's performance and playability are scarce, its production numbers and design lineage make it a fascinating find for collectors and historians. Little else is documented about this specific machine beyond its basic specifications, leaving room for further research and discovery.
